Welcome to Austria's first address for gourmets!

After years of tinkering, Tobias Buholzer (head chef at the restaurant "Die Rose" in Rüschlikon) has made the breakthrough and has come up with a milestone for gourmets: "Noix Gras".

The verbal similarity to "Foie Gras" is intentional, because "Noix Gras" is practically identical to "Foie Gras" in taste and consistency. However, it is 100% vegetarian and therefore 100% animal-friendly.

Game from the Esterhazy farm Pannatura

Bringing nature and the economy into harmony is a challenge that is carefully tackled anew every day in all areas, whether forest, field or lake. With a total of around 44,000 hectares, Esterhazy is Austria's largest private landowner. More than 30 percent of the properties are only managed to a very limited extent or not at all and are primarily made available for special nature and species protection purposes.

The choice of location for the meat factory at Seehof Donnerskirchen, which was built at the beginning of 2020, was made with historical development in mind, as cattle have been kept at the farm itself for generations in the interests of the best possible nutrient cycles. The use of the adjacent agricultural and forestry areas for hunting has also been a tradition for many years, and PANNATURA therefore placed the focus of the new business specifically on the game sector.

Esterhazy has been committed to the protection of biodiversity on the 44,000 hectares of land for many years. In numerous nature conservation and research projects with partners such as WWF Austria, the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences Vienna and the Research Institute of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, it has been proven that it is possible to operate as a successful business in harmony with nature.
